Guys, if you’re a fan of musicals, you’re about to hit the dang jackpot.

Word on the street is, ‘The Bodyguard The Musical’ is coming to Australia.

One of cinema’s most iconic love stories from back in 1992, it’s only fitting that the story is recreated to celebrate the life of the incredible Whitney Houston and the on-screen love she shared with Kevin Costner.

Set to kick off down under in April 2017, the local production of The Bodyguard comes after a hugely successful stint in London.

Thankfully, the musical features all of the incredible Houston tracks that feature in the movie. According to co-producer John Frost, the emotionally-charged storyline, along with the epic ballads — like 'Queen of The Night', 'I Wanna Dance With Somebody' and the legendary 'I Will Always Love You' — were simply destined for the stage.

The album is still the biggest selling movie soundtrack of ALL TIME. The Bodyguard will kick off it’s national tour in Sydney. More details, including tour dates and additional cities, will be released soon.
